How to Make It
Step 1
Add 1/2 cup blackberries, vinegar, lemon juice, ½ salt, mustard, and black pepper to a small saucepan. Place it over low heat. Use a small whisk to mash the blackberries and whisk all the ingredients together.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from the heat when the mixture is warm, and the erythritol has dissolved. Gradually drizzle the olive oil with one hand while blending using a hand blender with the other hand.
Step 3
Once the vinaigrette is emulsified, taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Pour it into a jar and set aside. Slice the chicken breasts in half vertically and place on a deep plate. Add 4 tbsp of vinaigrette, crushed red pepper, and ½ tsp salt and mix until well coated.
Step 4
Place a pan over medium-high heat and let it come to heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until slightly charred and cooked through. Transfer to a chopping board and let it rest.
Step 5
In the meantime, thinly slice the onion and avocado. Lay the arugula on a plate and top with the onion, avocado, ¼ cup blackberries, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. Slice the chicken and add it to the salad. Pour the dressing on top and serve immediately.
